Tottenham Hotspur will be hoping to add another blow to Chelsea when the Spurs take on the Blues at an expected sell out at Wembley.

Match Details:

Spurs vs Chelsea
Sunday 20th August – 16:00 GMT
Wembley Stadium

A game which could define both teams season; Antonio Conte’s Chelsea will want to bounce back with a win after their shock defeat to Burnley whereas Spurs, who won on the opening day, will want to see how they get on at Wembley having been poor there when they played there in the Champions League and Europa League last season.

Spurs will have confidence going into this game with Chelsea having to play a weakened team with their injuries and suspensions and the North Londoners’ solid performance against Newcastle United on the opening day in which Dele Alli and Ben Davies scored in for Tottenham to win 2-0. If Chelsea lose this game, will it be the curse of Chelsea managers winning the league and getting sacked the next season.

This is a hard game to call, personally I make Spurs ever so slightly favourites to win but expect a tight game.

Out: Danny Rose is still expected to be out for Sunday (knee), Erik Lamela (hip)

It will be interesting to see how both teams line up with Conte’s Chelsea not having many other first team midfield players to replace Fabregas, and they won’t be able to play their five at the back as normal with Cahill also missing through suspension.

It will also be difficult for Mauricio Pochettino to decide who to play at right back for Spurs with Trippier still expected to be out. He could play either Eric Dier or Alderweireld there but with Kyle Walker-Peters Man of the Match debut against Newcastle last Sunday, the Spurs boss may decied to give him another game as well.
